Well, it was a flight on Winair this morning, all on time, and I am in a Junior Suite at the Lighthouse Bay Hotel, Barbuda. One word, BEAUTIFUL !!!
I'm here for 3 nights, just 2 other couples here at the moment, got 9 miles of uniterrupted beaches to walk. Some pics here and more to follow. Enjoy.

Thanks moni, I had my first stroll, but forgot to put my card back in my camera :? So I just snapped a few more that were on the internal memory. Enjoy !

Looking back down towards the hotel.

The beach is out of this world. Looking at the pics makes me feel like I am there rather than in front of my computer still working. Not long now, though, we are having a BBQ in a little while, it is a nice sunny day here for once. :D

Have a great time and enjoy your walks on the beach

Cheers

Hi Buddy:
I'm glad that you posted these gorgeous photos, so that I can copy them in order to show MY friends where we were staying from July 12th through July 16th.
Your photo of the Hawksbill turtle tracks was especially enchanting.
Although we went out with flashlights in hand on July 14th, we never got an actual glimpse of the momma turtles dragging themselves onto the beach to deposit their eggs. Just seeing their "tracks" in person was enough to get a "wow" from everyone present that night.
Here's hoping that your weekend vacation is fabulous, and, that you have a safe trip home tomorrow morning.
Your friend... Zabar

Hi Zabar, hope all is well, it's just enchanting here for sure.Mo just told me during lunch that the walk up the beach to the left, where you can see Palmetto Point in the very far distance is a good 2 hours and you won't see a soul, amazing.
Donna hope all is well with you and Brian, very hot and dry out there in BC I believe ?. Some more snaps for you.

Hi Mark,
What a wonderful place. The beach looks stunning, that is definately what I call "getting away from it all"!
Hope you are well.

Some pics of my room, a Master Suite not a Junior Suite, my apologies.

A private motor yacht anchored a little ways out from the hotel.

This time a sailing yacht at anchor, with Palmetto Point in the distance behind it.

Final snap for this afternoon, the above sailing yacht looking down south.

Time for a little snooze, then we can check out some sundown and evening snaps later.
